Jonathan Van Nessis showing off his “cute” body transformation and letting his followers know that change takes time.
On Thursday, the 35-year-oldQueer Eyestar shared an update on his health, revealing in aTikTokvideo that he lost 35 lbs. with the help of a nutritionist.
“I got a nutritionist back in April. I’ve lost 35 lbs,” he said in the clip while showing off his transformation. “Here’s the thing, I wanted to change my body size because of my gymnastics and my career. My body was hurting, my back was hurting, I was hot as f—. I got a nutritionist because I wanted to do more gymnastics. I wanted to do more stuff, I wanted to feel better.”
Van Ness then reminded fans that results aren’t going to appear overnight.
“It took three weeks before I saw any change,” he continued. “So if you’re wanting to make a change, literally three weeks of working out and eating differently before I saw any change, that was from April to May.”
“So if you’re thinking about it or you’re getting super frustrated, it took me three weeks for anything to change and now I’ve lost 35 lbs! So now I’m a slut,” Van Ness quipped.
“Changes take time ❤️ love you!” he added in the caption.
Van Ness is often vocal about his experience with health and body image.
Van Ness said that his struggles led to “eating disorders, [a] weird relationship with food, for sure.”
The grooming expert said that he came to realize that social constructs about beauty are limiting and detrimental.
“I think what really has changed the most is that I’m aware of the unrealistic beauty expectations that are forced down their throats, and that they always have been, and have narrower ideas of what beauty are,” he said. “And really, it’s realizing that this system doesn’t fit me. It’s not that I don’t fit the system.”
